Been hitting the oldies today, especially this track from Jam & Spoon from 1995: Jam & Spoon's* Hands On Yello ‎– You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess#trancetechno #music #electronica

SIFT to identify misinformation http://monkinetic.blog/2020/05/01/sifting-misinformation-online

Sifting Through the Pandemic is a site about how to recognize misinformation on social media, focused -- obviously -- on information about the pandemic. OneZero provides an example in this article, where someone claiming to be a doctor posted that hand-sanitizer would do nothing to kill the coronavirus (False!).

What I love about the infodemic.blog system (SIFT) is how simple and memorable it is:

• Stop
• Investigate the Source
• Find Better Coverage
• Trace claims, quotes, and media to the original context

(SORRY, LOST IMAGE)

So tired this morning #thatisall
